Horrible. I have to say that kind of selfishness and cruelty seems commonplace. I had a neighbour once who'd spent most of his life moving from care home to borstal to adult prison--28 years in all out of his then 35. It started with his mother telling him, aged 7, they were going out on his birthday treat. That was the day she left him at the care home so she could emigrate with a new partner to NZ. When he ran away to find her he set in motion a lifetime of incarceration. I will never forget that story as long as I live.
Shame on us as people for our inhumanity. What other animal would do this?
